As a relative of Mercy and the Brown family as a whole, I thank you for telling the truth about what happened to her. It's annoying to hear everybody say that she was an actual vampire, and then continue with these crazy stories about her. My grandfather had to go to the cemetery every Halloween and protect the grave because people would come and vandalize it. Sadly he passed away recently, but can be found diagonally across Mercy's grave: Richard Brown

Coughing up blood was the key piece of “evidence” which led people to believe that she was a vampire.

And really, are the contemporary practices of embalming the dead any less barbarous than this rather extreme example? the whole undertaking industry exists to separate the bereaved from large sums of money taking advantage of their distraught state and susceptibility to conforming to conventions.

*Christopher Cromwell* Is it any more insane than taking a 2-month-old corpse of a woman who died in _January_ out of a crypt _in Rhode Island_ and deciding that since the body had hardly decomposed, she was a _vampire?_ I presume Rhode Island gets just as cold as every other New England state, like _all_ those in northern latitudes? That's the same sort of clear-as-mud ruling that if a suspected witch drowns from being ducked underwater, she's innocent...

These videos are turning into “ Tales of the weird and strange “ great job Chris !

I am surprised that the Father wasn't accused of being a Vampire were he was the only didn't die.

I grew up in Ri and we all learned about Mercy Brown. Great job telling the story. Love your channel. ❤️

Ain't no hole in those blocks... That looks like some kind of dead foliage (lower right on the block work).

I visited Mercy Brown's grave a few years ago. It was really strange, there were so many flies on her headstone...and only her headstone. EMF around her headstone was out of control too.

you could easily spill some soda on the headstone and it will attract flies I know this because I spilled some soda and next think you know all types of flies just swarm for that sugar.

Very interesting video, thank you Chris. Kind of funny how the locals figured she must have been a vampire because of very little or no decomp after 2 months, never mind the fact that it was in the frozen winter cold in an above-ground crypt. She was probably a popsicle, so of course she wouldn't be decomposing. But, when people get it in their head about something silly, they run with it.

I've studied the NE Vampire Epidemic in depth. Both fascinating and horrifying. TB wasn't understood; therefore it must be supernatural 🧛‍♀️🦇

You're good. I just got it Friday the 13th! 😆

Fascinating story, there was so much folk lore back then, and it's amazing what was done for remedies to the problem.. The place where Mercy's body was kept, was a body storage during the winter due to the ground being to hard to dig. It made sense her body would be preserved, it would be frozen in a preserved state. TB would bring up blood when coughing, often found on pillows, and cloths, which brought the idea they were vampires due to blood in their mouths, and on other items. Thanks Chris, it was a good one.

Mobile instinct always comes through with a good video! Love the videos Mobile instinct, keep up the good work 👏

WONDERFUL content, as usual!

Loved this video. You do such a good job of explaining things. Keep up the good work 😃

Thank you for sharing this. I had an eerie sense when you were near that crypt for some reason. Be careful.

So cool to see the Brown's actual gravesite! There is a series (Amazon Prime has it if anyone is interested) called Lore...this story is one of the tales they covered.

I had heard this story years ago. Interesting to see the graves. Nice to see you again, it's been awhile for me.

Excellent video, really enjoyed it!

Thanks for the video

How eerie and strange! Thanks Chris 🌟

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! I'm amazed the crypt is still there.

Edwin died.....well no kidden. They had him drink the remains of a 2 months dead heart and lived?!? That guy was as good as dead.

Mercy died in January, so that "crypt" is where they stored bodies during the winter when the ground was too frozen to dig graves. You can see them in many older cemeteries in the north and northeast.

Interesting story! Thanks for the story time!

I remember a phase of my teenage life where I was obsessed with vampires this is a very good video thank you for remaining me how life was, so simple before the 2000's eras. Now everything is zombies.

Just goes to show when people don't understand something they immediately think the worst and make up crazy theories of what they think is happening.

Glad I discovered your other channel! Hey man, there's 3 different graveyards not too far from me in Kentucky that I'd like to see you video and find info on.

That would be a fun and creepy place to visit on Halloween!👻 Love your channel Chris, long time viewer!❤

If Mercy died in January, and she couldn't be buried because the ground was frozen, why was anyone surprised that her body wasn't badly decomposed? She was very likely frozen at least part of the time she'd been in the crypt.

I'm loving these videos but I shouldn't be watching this before I go to bed

Loving the T-shirt too.

Technically it is not called a crypt but a keep and was used to temporarily store the corpses of those who died in winter when the ground was too hard for burial. Remember back in the day graves were dug by hand so when November, December, January, February and even March the soil was to frozen to penetrate. This was prevalent in the New England area. When spring rolled around bodies were transferred to the permanent gravesites.

Great video! I imagine that the brother was probably forced to drink that tonic, their reasoning probably so he wouldn't be a vampire.

Very cool video!!! Just subscribed✌

We just left Newport, Rhode Island less than 2 weeks ago after being stationed there for 3 years. Really would’ve liked to meet you. I love your videos.

So they didn't realize that Mercy's body had been kept at freezing or at least near that temp. From another source they removed her heart, burned it on a rock and then gave it to her brother to drink.

I visit the gravesite of mercy brown all the time. There are never flies around her headstone. It's a well kept cemetery because the church is still open to parishioners. Her grave is set in steel to avoid being robbed. Her crypt is now cemented & you cannot go in it. You can open the door buy you'll open it to cement. The cemetery is very haunted though. She comes out at her grave at night, I do have photos. She did just about drain my cell phone battery. I did capture other phenomena there as we walked.

Crazy story, perfect video and shirt for the day

Enjoy watching your videos man. I was waiting for you to say they exhumed the bodies to place bricks between there teeth so they couldnt bare fangs...common practice for vampire reports

I like your stories and I never knew that her headstone had a metal bar around it. Their is a cemetery in Riverside, RI that has the very first mayor of New York. That I think you would be interested. The cemetery has been there since the 1600's. It also has a Civil War veteran.

That was an old railroad route on that Lackawanna RR.

I remember hearing about the vampire incident, they would dig up graves and ram stakes into the bodies because they thought they would get up.

What I don’t understand is why no grass is growing between the four headstones.

Thought I heard of this somewhere. It was in a book I bought called Stones and Bones of New England.

I remember reading about this in the 80s

Im born and raised in providence Rhode island and Back in 1998 i was 11 my parents were really Into a.o.l and we went there with a group of random people from the internet and we had a blast going there and you could actually get into the crypt. And what I really remember was how my father said the smell reminded him of being back in Vietnam idk he didnt talk about it much

Did you ever hear of my ancestor Roger Williams whose grave was dug up for re-burial around 1850? An apple tree had grown up around the grave and people had people been eating apples fed by Roger’s body for 150 years.

They probably stored the body until the ground thawed out. I think this is still the practice in Northern Maine where the ground freezes as hard as cement.

How gross this story is! Surely TB was quite common back in the early days and people very superstitious then!

Great video!…..👀😎👏👍👋✌️🇨🇦🍻

That steel brace kinda looks like it's to prevent people from tipping or breaking the head stone. Thanks for another great video...I've watched all of yours.

I was just there in April!! Her body was kept in that crypt until they buried it!

This is exactly what I would do if I lived there, you shd offer gothic Americana tours. I would totally love that. Look up John Bellairs' novels. They are great young adult gothic material.

this is so cool.. you’re in my home state!!! my old stomping grounds!!!! haha

The metal around the bottom is because the stone was completely broken off and that’s how it was repaired. I remember seeing it broken. So I just googled a little bit and I just read The stone was already unattached from vandalism and in 1996 it was stolen and it was returned a week later and that’s when the metal bracket was put on. I never knew it was stolen but I do remember it being broken before the metal bracket was there.

Yeah, this is a pretty crazy, tragic story. I’ve never seen her grave before. TB was such a nasty disease.

Grew up in an adjacent town. In high school in the 80s, kids went to vampires grave as it was called, to party. Seriously I never went for that reason. But, did like going to historic graves sites( Rhode Island, especially rural like in Kent County has a lot of them. Many right in backyards). It was sad to see the high mortality rate of children.

That crypt door would make a great coffee table.

Thanks buddy…

You did a video on the cave in at church hill in Richmond va. Theres a vampire story thats tied to ths incident.

Check out the DeWolf family.and grave in Bristol RI.

Pretty much every high school student in Rhode Island visited that grave in the 80s.

I laughed a little when you said for a moment that the father never died while showing his grave kkkk. The you completed saying he died in 1920's. Nice video.

Awesome tale thanks Mobile Instinct, who’s to say the TB story isn’t hokum and the vampire story isn’t real? Truth lost to the ages now but cool to think about

I was literally there sunday filming myself.

I have that same shirt lol!

I don't know if it's a rumor or not but I heard the poor girl got her heart 💔 ripped out of her chest

Yes its True. Im from Rhode island. Theres actually another vampires grave in West Greenwich Rhode Island over by Big John Leydons Tree Farm.
